Welcome to my winter newsletter - what a hectic yet sensational few months it's been for Griffith Park Sparkling Wines. Last month I did a whistle-stop tour around Australia then flew straight to Hong Kong for their annual wine fair.

During 2010 the medals and trophies continued to flood in from wine competitions in France, UK and Hong Kong.

It's wonderful for the quality of the wine to be recognised by the professionals, but our fans are the real judges! Thank you for your continued support for Griffith Park. We've had an overwhelming response to our monthly website competitions, a record number of hits on our web page www.griffithpark.co.uk and now we welcome you to join us on Facebook @ We Love Griffith Park Sparkling Wine:

Watch out for new and exciting promotions in 2011.

Have a great Christmas everyone and Happy New Year!

Griffith Park Goes Out for Dinner

Great news - you can now enjoy your favourite Aussie Griffith Park on your night out!

Exclusive bespoke new blends of both Griffith Park Sparkling Rose and Sparkling White are now available at top hotels, restaurants, brasseries, clubs, bars, pubs and private members clubs. Who needs to spend crazy amounts of cash on expensive branded Champagne when Griffith Park has been placed alongside £75.00 Champagnes in wine expert 'blind taste tests'?

Ask for and keep an eye out for the specially designed new elegant and eye-catching bottles behind the bar or on the wine list - make your night out extra special without breaking the bank.

Causing a Stir Down Under

Another exciting milestone was reached in October when Griffith Park came home to Australia. The Aussies are huge fans of bubbly and they couldn't wait to get their hands on Griffith Park Sparkling Brut.

It was launched in Cole's 1st Choice Liquor Superstores nationwide, spot-on timing for the prestigious Melbourne Cup. It truly is a great compliment to have the wine so welcomed by its home country; providing the provenance discerning wine lovers demand.

Top Trophy Win in Hong Kong

It was Griffith Park's turn to pop the cork and celebrate with some amazing prizes at the Hong Kong International Wine and Spirits Competition.Griffith Park Sparkling Brut won a Bronze medal and Griffith Park Sparkling Rose was awarded a coveted Silver medal AND it also won one of the top prizes of the night - the trophy for 'Best Wine with Bubbles' below HK $400.00 (c£30.00).

The trophy was presented to a stunned yet thrilled Islay by top wine expert Debra Meiberg MW. On accepting the trophy, Islay reinforced her passion for Griffith Park Sparkling Wines: "I am so delighted that the superior quality of Griffith Park has again been recognised as a serious rival to branded Champagnes - my philosophy behind creating the sparkling wines was to offer quality bubbly at affordable prices".

Griffith Park Sparkling Wines will be launching into bars, hotels and restaurants in Hong Kong in the New Year.

Penny Vincenzi & Griffith Park Join Forces

It was a match made in heaven - there's nothing more relaxing than escaping into a great book whilst sipping a glass of your favourite fizz. Bestselling novelist Penny Vincenzi and Griffith Park teamed up to run competitions for the paperback launch of 'The Best of Times'. You may have seen the posters on London buses or the giant billboards around London promoting the partnership.

This collaboration offered fans the perfect opportunity to enjoy both a brilliant read and a decadent glass of bubbly.
